The Diplomat 3
Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 09h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Drama
Amid an international crisis, a US diplomat contends with her high-profile new job as ambassador to the UK and her turbulent marriage to a political star.
In Season 3, Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want.
She just accused Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she's after the VP's job.
But now the President is dead, Kate's husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) may have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is leader of the free world.
None of this slows Hal's campaign to land Kate the vice presidency.
Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford).
Uncanny 2
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Supernatural, Paranormal, Documentary Series
Inspired by the BBC Sounds podcast of the same name, Uncanny features real-life stories of apparently supernatural encounters told by the people they happened to - experiences that appear to defy logical explanation.
Or do they?
In each of the episodes, Danny Robins investigates a brand new case and tries to help those involved understand what happened to them.
Can their experiences be explained - or could they really be evidence of the supernatural?
In the Season 2 premiere, "The Haunting of Hollymount Farm": In the first case of this season, Danny is joined in the studio by Liam, who grew up on a remote farm near Bury.
His happy childhood was marred by ghostly sightings of a little boy and an overbearing, oppressive presence, making him so terrified that, even as an adult, he refused to go upstairs in his house alone.
For years, nobody around Liam would acknowledge the strange and frightening activity.
When his parents finally opened up, Liam discovered that not only had they seen things too - but that this had been going on for generations before him.
Who could this little boy have been?
Danny's investigation into the case uncovers decades of hushed-up, terrifying testimonies, both from Liam's family and his close friends as witnesses.
As ever, the audience is invited to share their theories and help crack the case.
